[Lindsay nods slowly, because wow that sounds like a big family.]
I'm pretty sure my family also considers me the rebel. Or the disappointment. Probably more the latter, but not much that can be done about it.
[But enough about that. Maybe they should work, yes? Let's work. She pulls out one of her files and passes it over. Inside is all the known vampires, a timeline of major events, and any notes on things that have become confusing.]
Here's what I have so far. Nothing super concrete as to what the problem is, but my original source is dead, so I can't exactly go back to him for clarification. I've gotten myself an in through the Mystic Falls Sheriff's Department though.
His name was Matt Donovan. He grew up here and used to be the sheriff.
[She pauses as she leans back.]
He helped me take out a nest not too far from here, and I think he was trying to warn me away. But before he could successfully do that he turned up dead in a car trunk so I figured I'd stick around. See what I could find out.
He was. In fact, he mentioned something about a "Founder's Council" which admittedly is some old money shit but also they were attempting to manage the vampire problem. The sheriff's station has vampire cells in the basement.
[So her assessment is that Mystic Falls has an awareness of the supernatural, but things are more complicated than they seem.]
There are five founding families, right? Fells, Salvatores, Gilberts, Forbes and Lockwoods. The last remaining members of the Salvatores and Forbes families are vampires and Tyler Lockwood and the remaining Gilberts are all MIA. Which just leaves the Fells who don't seem that involved in their family history.
I've done a little digging myself. The Fell's, especially, have a lot of losses in their families, so I could see them stepping back from all things founding related. The Salvatores being... Damon and Stefan Salvatore?
That's them. I'm pretty sure one of them killed the sheriff, I just don't have any proof.
[They've been on a bit of a spree.]
They're also decently old vampires - the Forbes one, Caroline? She was turned fairly recently. Maybe in the last five or six years. But the thing is, they're a weird kind of vampire. Matt mentioned something about turning their emotions off?
Killed the sheriff, dumped in his trunk. Flashy for local vampires.
( Has she brought her thoughts to them, he wonders, but she shares more about Caroline Forbes. )
Turning their emotions off? Not possible. Vampires are vampires. Demons. They have all the emotions, just not the ones we want them to. You come face to face with any of them?
The "animal attacks" with torn out throats or missing hearts really seem to lean that way.
[And yes, she knows that, but maybe there's something else that they're not seeing.]
Maybe they found another way. I don't know. But there's definitely something in this town killing people, and it's probably these weirdo psuedo-vampires.

( That's true of everything. But they're not at wisdom, right now.
He takes the folder, opening it. He pulls the flap to his bag back before he removes a case. Putting on reading glasses, he reads what she's found. )
Who was the original source?

Sheriff was in the know, though?

You make contact with this founder's council?

They walk in the sun, too. Haven't figured out how they're doing that yet.

Angel destroyed the ring of Amara back in the year 2000.
